So I recently threw my first zeta on Vader and decided to triumphantly waltz into an easy mode H Rancor, or not. I fell flat on my face!
Although I understand the mechanics of not using culling blade at all (or at the least with force choke coming off CD in 1 turn), my squad was only JUST able to make it out of P1 - with 1 toon remaining.
Speeds across my characters ranged from 183-231 but I think my problem may not only be in speed but also other stats? Potency to help TMR stick? The pigs were getting a lot of action and this is where I was going wrong!
Could any one please have a look at my profile, squad, and mods and make some suggestions please?

Squad I was running last raid was Zader (L), TFP, EP, Sid (G8 at the time, now G10), and QGJ.
Also just wondering if subbing out any of the above toons for Grand Moff Tarkin is a good idea for TMR abilities?

Use this team and you will solo the Rancor pretty easily

zVader MAX Gear
Emperor Palpatine Gear X (almost Xl)
Darth Sidious Gear X
TIE Fighter Pilot MAX Gear
Rex Gear X
Why the heck is EP on that team? The typical team is Zader, Boba, Sidious, Tusken Shaman, and Rex.
Swap out EP for Boba, at least.
I actually realised my Sid is only gear IX and my Rex is still at gear VII, so I'm a little ways off this team. How much speed are you running with for each toon?
^^Your squad is the problem. Zader, Maul, Sid, TFP and FOO. Or Zader, Maul, Sid, TFP and Rex. Use Maul's AoE daze in the beginning on the pigs to get you through them. FOO has the ideal TMR with 50%, plus the cleanse with advantage, so that once you stack enough DoT's at the end of P1, you can give Vader advantage and use culling blade at about 15-20% to avoid the end of the phase. After that, you can put it on auto and relax.
I might throw my 2nd Zeta on Sid to boost his potency as well as making him HAAT viable. Thoughts?
I've never heard of using FOO and Maul is pretty slow to be using for this. You don't need more potency on Sid because the TM reduction granted by Zader cannot be resisted. If you want him to land dots more consistently then go for it, but I think QGJ is your bigger problem. Try replacing him with Rex or MT (or Jyn or Bistan). MT has a special that can reduce more TM if the boss starts getting close to a turn. You have to load him up with potency mods, but mine is at G8 and works fine.
Edit: I would also try to get Sid to at least 200 speed.
One time had Palpa die on pigs but soloed anyway.
Instead of qui gon you can use teebo, rex or some other who reduces tm.
Ps. The above mentioned tusken shaman set up is for tank raid, at least thats where i use it.
I don't know why everyone have 85+ speed on all toons for rancor but for myself
Zadar ep tfp Rex and qgj with average 175 speed can solo it using basic ability except qgj for p1.
I am very interested about 350 speed tie fighter pilot though
Vader gear 9
Maul gear 9
FOO gear 11
TFP gear 11
Qcj gear 11
None above are Zeta'd but can do that straight away when I've decided.
Speed isn't an issue. I can move mods around to get to the speeds discussed in the previous posts.
I've also:
Palp gear 11
Rg gear 11
Boba gear 10
Rex gear 9
Sid gear 9
5s gear 9... to replace any of the above.
All advice welcome
I use the same except I use Sidious instead of Rex
EP stun is valuable in p1... and offense up is also helpful. I have mine at 215 speed I believe so he gets a lot of turns to boot, and does high damage
I'm calling you out on 350 speed. TFP has a base of 170. With a speed mod set equipped you get +17. A primary arrow adds another 30. That is 217 speed. You need 133 from 5 speed secondaries, an average of 26.6 per mod.
Please post pics of the mods you have equipped on TFP.
I think the guy just made a typo, I just checked out his TFP and its fast enough (260) to do a solo I think.
@Ryan16
Zader
Tfp
Emp
Rg
Teebo
Only one with good speed is my tfp. I ignore dots and focus on getting tenacity down with tfp. Then just basic away. I save teebos stealth move for if i get in a bad spot. After p1 its all down hill. Not even close to an optimal line up but it works.
These are my mods:
Vader 195(+74)
Boba 218(+83)
TFP 258(+88)
EP 214(+92)
Shore 115(+4)
The only reason Shore is +4 was because I had a secondary of 5% health I couldn't pass up even if it had a speed secondary on it as well lol.
